This post has brought some much needed laughter to my day. I think I'll knit a scarf for Mary.

Who else can we send this too?

But truthfully, I am also cringing. Social media has changed everything. Thank God I was in my 20s in the 1980s...


Washington City Paper =/= Washington Times


That was me. Sorry. I also wrote "too" instead of "to".



I think you mean that it was a volunteer who did that. No fault of your own.

I am the candidate and am personally writing to apologize for the comment that was written earlier. This is my account and I occasionally post mom related event information around the city on this forum.
Today's comment was written by a volunteer who was using my laptop to do other campaign related activities while I was not around. I was unaware of what was going on until I returned just now.
The comment was completely inappropriate and should not have been written. I have run a completely positive campaign and will continue to do so for the remaining eight days. Needless to say, the volunteer involved will no longer be helping me.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss this matter further.







The first post could be a momentary lapse of judgment. But this cover up seriously makes me mistrust her judgment. This was a bad call.

Now have to ponder whether I watch game 6 or just keep clicking on this thread and looking for news on Ashley Carter. Tough one...


Same, I almost didn't click because I figured it was a just favorite for people that are really super invested in the school board race. So glad I gave it a shot!


The title isn't exactly clickbaity... Can Jeff add to the title something clicky?

The last sentence isn't even grammatically correct. So, AB, you're saying "maybe she can dress like a homeless lady?" Or that she already does?

Guess I'm not "Smarter with Carter" (and wow, is that a cringeworthy slogan).
